Taxon is the journal of the International Association for Plant Taxonomy (IAPT) and is devoted to systematic and evolutionary biology with emphasis on botany. The journal accepts articles on Plant Phylogeny, Evolution, Taxonomy, Morphology, Paleobotany, Palynology, Methods and Techniques, Biodiversity and Conservation, and of related fields, as well as contributions to discussions on timely issues (e.g., Points of View, Letters to the Editor). The journal is also an important outlet for publication of items dealing with Plant Nomenclature (including official Proposals to amend the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, nomenclature committee reports, and commentaries). Manuscripts are peer-reviewed. Taxon is published quarterly by the IAPT, located at the Bureau for Plant Taxonomy and Nomenclature, Institute of Botany, University of Vienna, Rennweg 14, A-1030 Wien, AUSTRIA. Taxon is sent to all members of the IAPT, and is also available by subscription.

The "moving wall" represents the time period between the last issue
available in JSTOR and the most recently published issue of a journal.
Moving walls are generally represented in years. In rare instances, a
publisher has elected to have a "zero" moving wall, so their current
issues are available in JSTOR shortly after publication.
Note: In calculating the moving wall, the current year is not counted.
For example, if the current year is 2008 and a journal has a 5 year
moving wall, articles from the year 2002 are available.

Terms Related to the Moving Wall

Fixed walls: Journals with no new volumes being added to the archive.

Absorbed: Journals that are combined with another title.

Complete: Journals that are no longer published or that have been
combined with another title.
